It's publication day!!

Thank you to all of the folks at @urochester.bsky.social press and @boydellandbrewer.bsky.social who helped to make this book so beautiful. And thank you AGAIN to all of the folks in my (very earnest) acknowledgments.
Happy author (me) holding a bunch of hardcover copies of _Putting Plastic Surgery on Paper_. I am a white blonde woman with short hair wearing a white top and in an office with bookshelves visible in the background. Holding the hardcover version of _Putting Plastic Surgery on Paper_ up in front of two framed posters. The cover of the book shows a face being surgically reconstructed, in six steps, drawn with pencil on beige paper. The title (in caps) is backed by a dark red (the full title is Putting Plastic Surgery on Paper: How Art and Archives Defined Second World War Reconstructive Surgery in Britain). The back of the book, held in front of the same two framed posters. The text isn't super visible, but it includes the blurb of the book from the publisher's website, and the bio of the author, Christine Slobogin, as well as the press's logo and the barcode. The beige text box is outlined in dark red. The dedication page of the book reads "For my dad"

If you are a supporter and reader of @contingent-mag.bsky.social one of the biggest things you can do to help us at the moment is get this CFP to the NTT folks in your life. The fracturing of social media has made it very difficult to get the word out esp. to adjuncts and VAPs.

My department is hiring in African history and the United States since 1865! Both positions are tenure-track, and both hires will be made at the assistant level. I'm not on either search committee (sabbatical, babyyyyy), but I'm more than happy to answer any questions you might have. 🗃️

My book-in-progress has a chapter that deals, in part, with eugenic euthanasia and the quest to relieve "social suffering." But until it's out, might I recommend an oldie but a goodie? (by one of my dissertation committee members)

Last week I got to do a fun & cool thing and sign my books that are being sold at the @hunterianmuseum.bsky.social gift shop at the Royal College of Surgeons!
Me (white woman with a blonde bob) sitting at a wooden table with a pen held over the title page of my book _Putting Plastic Surgery on Paper_. There are two gold-framed paintings behind me, and two more of my books at my side. I (white woman with blonde bob) am sitting smiling in a green long sleeved shirt, jeans, and white tennis shoes at a wooden table in front of two portraits of white men in gold frames. Three copies of my book _Putting Plastic Surgery on Paper_ sit on the table in front of me.
